My sister thinks that his eventual fate of "generic islamofascist who gets caught and locked away forever without mercy" was changed once he was revealed to be some 19-year old white kid.
PS, is your sister hot?

Are the ones behind it getting charged with death?
Murder one x5, hate crime, grand theft, and international terrorism.
I think Dzhokhar was just a misguided teenager. His brother turned him into an apathetic killer. I'd imagined the desensitization happened over some period of time. He saw kids blown to bits, he backed a car over his brother's (whom he'd known his whole life)half-dead body after he'd had shrapnel from his own home-made grenade tear his shoulder and had been coated with bullets...he'd been shot in the right shoulder area, he'd ran and hid bloodied burning up in the sun under the cover a boat at some stranger's house, unconscious, unable to even shoot the man who reported him. The amount of trauma he's had for a 19 year-old horrific, especially considering he's fighting for his life alone in the dark of a hospital bed.

Dzhokhar was an all-american wrestling champ, with perfect grades, a lot of friends, and a twelve hundred dollar scholarship to Cambridge University.
Unlike his brother Tamerlan, he was not an immigrant.

yeah, I heard they were trying to give him the death penalty through some technicality, also I think they tried to avoid reading him his rights for a similar reason.

Body found in Providence confirmed to be Brown student wrongly accused of Boston bombingsThe Rhode Island medical examiner’s office says a body found in Providence is that of a Brown University student missing since last month.
Health Department spokeswoman Dara Chadwick says the body of 22-year-old Sunil Tripathi was identified Thursday morning through a forensic dental exam. The cause of death has not been determined. Tripathi was erroneously linked on social media to the Boston bombings last week.
Police found the corpse floating in the Providence River. It appeared to be that of a male in his 20s and had “been in the water for a while,” Commander Thomas Oates of the Providence Police Department, told ABC News Wednesday.
Mr. Tripathi, a 22-year-old philosophy major from Radnor, Pa., was last seen on March 16.
However, he was at the centre of a social media firestorm last week after the Federal Bureau of Investigation released a photograph of one of the Boston Marathon bombing suspects wearing a white baseball cap.
Last Thursday night, Internet users and some news organizations thought they saw a link between the search for the bombing suspects — Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev — and the missing student because some believed Mr. Tripathi looked like the photo of one of the suspects.
The rumour caught fire, and news media vans staked out the home of Mr. Tripathi’s parents, in Bryn Mawr, Pa. His sister Sangeeta received 58 calls from reporters between 3 a.m. and 4:11 a.m. on Friday.

On Monday, Erik Martin, general manager of Reddit, a social news and entertainment website, apologized for the “dangerous speculation [that] spiraled into very negative consequences for innocent parties.”
“The Reddit staff and the millions of people on Reddit around the world deeply regret that this happened,” he wrote in a blog pos.
“We all need to look at what happened and make sure that in the future we do everything we can to help and not hinder crisis situations.”
